Skunks
So I drive an 1989 Honda Accord, a car that by most definitions of the word 'car' shoud have fallen to pieces a la the Blues Mobile years ago. I've taken that car everywhere and pushed it harder than Sisyphus pushes that boulder. One of the car's greatest problems is its lack of a reliable A/C system - recently I have given up and just suffer, especially in North Central Florida summers.
However, over the last few weeks, a new insidious evil has sprouted up. It seems that every three days or so someone hits a skunk, just outside Newberry on the one road that goes from Newberry to Florida. And guess who doesn't have the luxury of being able to hit recycle on his air controls? It would be bad enough if it was a one time occurrence, but just as soon as they scrape up one, BAM! and it starts all over agin. It's like the skunks line up or something.
